10 Cool Jobs in Science You Didn’t Know Existed [Infographic]

With such an extraordinary breadth of fields to study, there are plenty of cool, strange and unusual science jobs that you may not have heard of. Rather than being confined to their labs, some scientists move into areas that seem more akin to something from a Hollywood movie or your favourite TV show.

Others, while not what you’d perhaps term cool, aren’t exactly a regular 9 to 5 either and are very much a far cry from what springs to mind when you think of a scientist. From the deepest expanses of the ocean floor to the jaws of carnivorous reptiles, these odd jobs find their labourers conducting research in some pretty strange locales, far away from the usual lab or office that many will be used to.
